It takes a little bit of the shame away because although you initially said it was 7-0, it was only 6-0 and so that's better?

What about the shame of not knowing what the score was?

we were a city league team, which means no one could be bothered with anymore of a commitment that a kickaround mid week and a game. we had to play a state-wide team who had sponsors and handouts for wins, plus like $250 a week (basically only pays rent in sydney). we got the call a week before the game cause they needed a filler team to complete the brackets or whatever and so my first game was an FA cup match. The warmups were brutal as half the guys showed up late and we just warmed up on our own; they looked more professional than an Aleague team. i had to play left back to fill in for someone who didnt come, their right winger was a douche and at 4-0 tackled me from behind. luckily on the fall, somehow my hand made strong contact with his face and all such tackles never came around again. them just giving a 3-0 and letting people wonder if it was a forfeit or not, that would have been much better. or maybe i just lost count... however, not embarrassed. I am an FA Cup player! cant wait to tell that to the grandkids: ur g-ma was the best dancer, singer and model ever and pawpaw lost 6-0 in the Australian FA Cup
